Will Salman’s film be called Jai Ho, as reports say, or something else entirely?

Salman Khan’s Mental has managed to be in the news all the time, whether it’s through on the set pictures, change in the title or release date, or the kidnapping controversy involving one of the film’s female leads, Sana Khan.

Even with so much publicity, we wonder why Salman is getting jittery about the movie. Is Mental, directed by his brother Sohail Khan, not turning out well? Sallu’s confidence in Sohail’s directorial abilities seems to have waned – his kid brother’s only hit is the 1998 release Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya. And the last two films the two starred in together – Main Aur Mrs Khanna and Veer – were both major disasters at the box office.

Reports say that Salman has again shown reservations about Mental as a title and has decided to change it to Jai Ho. The reason now being given is the film’s release date, which falls on the Republic Day weekend in January 2014. The movie was earlier called Radhe, then Mental, and now is likely to be called Jai Ho or we dunno what! This will leave audiences thoroughly confused, wethinks.

Our take is, why bother about the title, Salman? The film is a South remake and is bound to have your signature all over it. So, will a new name really make a difference?

But BollywoodLifers, if you don’t like either Mental or Jai Ho, do suggest new titles to Salman in the comments box below!

Instead of Radhe, Sallu and Sohail had opted for Mental almost six months ago, so why then are they dissatisfied with the title now?

Ever since Sohail Khan put his ambitious movie, Sher Khan on the backburner and announced that he would start work on Mental with bade bhaiyyaSalman Khan, the project has been garnering good buzz, what with the makers releasing new stills from the movie sets every now and then! It’s learnt that the Khan brothers weren’t too pleased with Radhe and wanted a catchy and mass-friendly title for their film, and hence opted for Mental!

From what we hear now, the Being Human actor isn’t very pleased with a wacky name like Mental. Sohail has been looking at various options thrown to him by his unit members and crew. A source close to Sallu informed that the film was never meant to be called Mental and it was always a working title; just that the media took it as the actual one.

But don’t forget that Sohail had even tried getting the title registered since its rights belonged to someone else. Wonder if the name change is because Sohail of his failed attempt to get the name registered! We too preferred Mental over Radhe, but Sallu’s character is likely to be called Radhe in the film. So remember, we had even suggested a couple of options – merging the two – Radhe Mental or Mental Radhe! Is Sohail listening?

The superstar, while on his way to Dubai for a shoot, revealed that the title of his upcoming film is indeed Mental, and not Radhe

Salman Khan is probably the most casual superstar in Bollywood. And if it weren’t visible from his appearances and his mannerisms, then his actions certainly make it quite clear!

Yesterday, it seems the superstar was in great mood as he was driving towards Mumbai airport and on a total tweeting binge while listening to some pumping music. Seeing that the Dabangg dude was responding to tweets, his fans asked him where he was headed to. And Salman told the junta, in all caps, that he was leaving for Dubai to shoot for his next film Mental. “NOTHING JST ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT GOING TO DUBAI TO SHOOT FOR MENTAL HEARING A TRACK WAKANDA IN MY CAR BY DIMITRI VEGAS AND LIKE MIKE,” wrote the actor. See what we told you about being casual?

The movie – that was earlier titled Radhe – will be directed by Sohail Khan. And apparently, Karishma Kotak who was supposed to play the lead won’t be doing so anymore. Daisy Shah, who was an assistant to choreographer Ganesh Acharya, will be playing the lead.

And while we wait eagerly for more news on Mental which is a remake of the South film Stalin, all you Salman fans can now catch the chatty Khan on Twitter. Who knows if it’s your lucky day!

The actor says he will not use his clothing line Being Human for the characters he plays on screen

Superstar Salman Khan doesn’t want to mix his NGO Being Human with his commercial work and clarified that the costumes in his movies will not be containing the name of the brand.

“Our designers will design the clothes and those clothes will be included in our collection. But we will not be branding it in movies,” he said Thursday at the launch of the first flagship store of Being Human in Mumbai’s Linking Road.

“Now characters like Radhe and Chulbul Pandey cannot be seen wearing a Being Human T-shirt,” added the 47-year-old who formed the charitable trust Being Human Foundation.

The film industry people often donate to the foundation. But Salman says he has put such a mechanism in place that he doesn’t have to ask for charity from anyone. “Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), Karan (Johar) and many people have donated to the foundation. But we have made the model such that we don’t have to ask for money from anyone,” he said and added, “Everyone should start charitable work like this and competition should happen here. We must take it to a different level.”

Well, instead of Radhe, that’s the name Sohail Khan wants for Sallu’s next project

Ever since Sohail Khan put his ambitious movie, Sher Khan, on the backburner and announced that he would start work on Radhe with bade bhaiyyaSalman Khan, the project is garnering good buzz. It’s learnt that the super excited actor-filmmaker wasn’t too pleased with the title Radhe and he wishes to call it Mental! Sounds interesting no?

If our feathered friend is to be believed, a few days ago, Sohail tried getting the title, Mental, registered. Since the rights belong to someone else, he hasn’t been able to get it yet. But he is confident that he will get the title soon. “Salman’s character is still likely to be called Radhe. But both the brothers want a catchy and mass-oriented title for the film, which is why they are trying to get hold of Mental,” said a source close to the Khandaan.

Instead of opting for either Radhe or Mental, how about merging the two – Mental Radhe or Radhe Mental. Sounds better no, Sohail?

The actor is super disturbed by media reports that she will be a part of the next Salman Khan starrer

Priyanka Chopra is extremely angry with news floating around about her new project with Salman Khan. PC lashed out at the reporters when she got a whiff of this piece of news that she might be a part of Sohail Khan’s Radhe. She wrote on microblogging site Twitter, “People really need to get their facts right before making a wild fire out of speculation. The only films I am doing are Krrish 3, Gundey and Mary Kom. So stop deciding for me, you want to speculate do it on Dalal street.”

But the Chopra chick finally calmed down as she wrote about how she had an amazing day with the team members of Gundey. After the film’s mahurat havan, the babe was all set for a Pepsi shoot next.

Looked like all she needed was more work and a wonderful time with colleagues and friends to bring her rising temper down. And she ended her tweet on a happy note by saying, “Turn the music li’l louder baby.” Very rarely does PC get all worked up; this is definitely one of those rare occasions, phew!
